This podcast is an introduction Emilee Saldaya, founder of Free Birth society. Her work in the birth world at a fairly young age began opening her eyes to the importance and meaning of feminism. She felt alone in the midst of an industry that was overall harmful to women, which led her to creating what is now an expansive multi-faceted business entity under the name Free Birth Society (which has way more going on than the name implies). She shares her soulful and empowered life path that led her to the place she is now, which is a radical/revolutionary feminist unlike any that came before. In this episode we touch on the following: The global community portion of FBS, which is like a virtual fire circle for women, what it’s all about and who is involved in it. Entrepreneurship in the Birth World and full-spectrum doulas. The rooted decision to free birth and simultaneously invite the virtual world into that process through FBS podcast, a first of its kind. How she came to terms with how unethical her work in the birth system was. The crossroads she came to upon becoming pregnant with her first baby. How the rite of passage into Motherhood can really make or break us. How she lives a life of integration and vision which pans out in a way that benefits her as a business woman and relatively new mother. A little glimpse into her own free birth experienceWhat her phrase, “We birth how we live” means. What has helped her create healthy boundaries being in a public position, bringing revolutionary feminist viewpoints, which automatically bring some controversy. How she manages being a committed activist, bringing of deep service to women without being swallowed up by the wide range of emotions and realities she must face. Keeping clear energetic boundaries amidst hate. How backlash from her work has highlighted how appressed the female voice is and how she uses her privilege for the women who cannot use theres. The importance of understanding Global oppression of women. How privilege is a responsibility to protect women with less privilege. Details into her most recent Mother-centered, woman-centered retreat. A very unique and beautiful experience. The Radical Birthkeeping School: for women that feel called to serve women and not be behold into the systems that oppress us and keep us separate from each other.

Overview of this episode: Postpartum, the importance of this time on the continuum of a woman's health and wellbeing and the general lack of value put on Mothers genuine health and wellbeing in our patriarchal society. (This goes beyond “the first 40 days”) Postpartum/Motherhood and social media, new terrain in the grand scheme of things . Feeding an algorithm that feeds into popular illusions/highlights (creating false expectations) vs finding a sense of village amidst it all. 3+ Years deep in my postpartum process. Some of the physical aspects. Pitfalls I had in the first 13 months during my initiation into motherhood up until where I am at now with second baby at the end of the forth trimester. How shedding expectations external/internal was vital in becoming more embodied and at home within myself in a new life-changing role. The importance and layers of support and a strong sense of self-worth. The difference of my beginning experience and perspective 3+ years ago and my current, fresh postpartum reality.

Recorded Two Weeks Postpartum

A follow up to episode 021, because the number one question Capri received about her plans to free birth has been “How does Tim feel about it?”

In this important episode, Capri shares (in a round-about way) a bit of her previous/first baby's birth story and how that influenced plans for her current pregnancy and next birthing experience, She went into her first pregnancy and birth with a greater dependence on her care providers, less knowledge and more naivety. Circumstances out of her control led her into the unexpected position of birthing in her (almost) complete power - without her providers assistance, which proved to be incredibly mind-opening and game changing. After this, there was no turning back. Over the last few years, her interest in the intersection of birth as a money making medical industry (for doctors and midwives alike) and birth as a natural, normal timeless physiological event has grown. The contrast of seeing/hearing/observing all the vast experiences and perspectives women have of birthing "in the system", all while being connected to a large diverse network of women who are having wild, autonomous free births - is blinding. Too blinding to not talk about openly. When she made the decision, during her current baby's gestation, to have a Wild Pregnancy and Free Birth she did debate if sharing about it with others was the right thing for her, knowing that not everyones perspective is as broad on this topic. And being that it's such a personal decision, she hesitated on letting people know to avoid having anyone inflict their own fear into her space. However, it didn't take long for her to overcome that and realize that there are other women who need to hear this reality. Not those that are fully committed to being indoctrinated by a mindset that will keep them forever relying on an over-dose of medical intervention for natural processes, but for the women who know there has to be another choice (this goes beyond birth, too). For women creating an experience that goes beyond what others expect of them- and is much more mother-centered, empowered, and ultimately a completely healthy and positive choice for the vast majority for those that walk this path. And has been for thousands and thousands of years.

Within this episode, Capri shares, for the first time, about her business. How "Wholistic" is about more than ourselves.... its about community and the earth at large. After completing her website, and being ready to put this vision out into the world she experienced an inner power struggle. After sorting through what that was all about, she explains how it was about balancing feminine and masculine qualities. In this case, she needed more inner masculine energy in order to feel more stable in the situation. This is something that many business owners (especially women) struggle with. Some intentions for the future of Inner Source Alchemy is discussed. Meanwhile - her next baby is four months away from being born! Other topics mentioned: The Amazon Fires, Self-Prioritization (the new “Self Care”), and managing all of it. Please support this podcasts wellbeing by: 1. Subscribing 2. Rating/Reviewing 3.

This episode is about showing up as is. Capri talks about feeling the need to bring more elements into her full Mothering life that bring her back to herself. Motherhood is a very earthly and grounding job, one that Capri was not accustomed to and has been a big adjustment. She looks back at her Maiden years with a sense of admiration and gratitude for all of the free time spent focusing on herself- doing all the things and reading all the self help books. And most importantly, being with herself in reflection, meditation and of course so much learning. All of which contributed to a strong sense of inner sureness. There wasn’t much outside influences in her life.. she ran her own show and found inspiration along the way from an inner compass. As compared to now, with the change of daily life... she noticed less inner sureness, that feels foreign to her. This episode explores what might contribute to that (and takes a small detour into a rant of her observations of the watered down, fragmented and over-copied self-help and motivational trends in the age of social media.) and how she intends to go forward in order to use her life force for creating that which she envisions.

One of the most overarching conditionings that has pressed upon us in our Western society is the linear time system. It is efficient and effective but it suffocates an important quality in our lives. One that is more deeply in-touch with natural rhythms within ourselves, earth and beyond. The rise of the Feminine principal (in all of us and societies at large) calls us to really look at the conditioning time has had on our lives and begin to free ourselves from our co-dependent and symptomatic relationship with it. This isn’t about dropping everything and sailing in the breeze, it’s about long term resiliency, perspective and sustainable creation. Please support this podcasts wellbeing by: 1. Subscribing 2.

After a three month “pregnant pause” from podcasting, Capri gets the wheels turning again in this episode. She opens up about experiencing depression in her first trimester of current pregnancy as she struggled with the physical symptoms. Ultimately, she welcomes the changes she is going through on all levels and considers pregnancy and bringing children into the world a major tool in self development, especially if the intention is there. ~ Please support this podcasts wellbeing by: 1.
